From Ihe National Iulelligenccr. Honor to whom lloaor is Due. Now that the Presidential contest is over, anil the great battle lias ended disastrously for the friends of Constitutional Right ; and now that the sun of our country's glory has set in gloom and darkneso, it is not less our pleasure titan our duty to bear testimony in behalf of tbose who were true to the faith that was in them. It is not enough to say that the Whig party fought hard and fought nobly in the cause of principle and truth they diu more than this. They gave up every thing to their country, and did all that men could do to rescue her from the dangers that beset her ; and which, most unfortunately for her peace and prosperily, and the happi-ness of the people, have at length overwhelmed her. They atrained evocy. nerve, and stretched every tendon, in the fight j they toiled by day, and watched by the camp lires at night ; and oil was freely done for the honor and glory of the Republic, and for the love of him who has proved himself the truest of her sons, and who stands up, even in' defeat, ''the noblest Roman of us all." Ho, their great leader, is beaten, but he is not on that account less dear to his friends they stood by him in his prosperity, and they cling to him in his adversity. His defeat under any circumstances, and now especially, when it lias been effected by the foulest frauds upon the elective franchise, and by votes manufactured for the time and the purpose, only tightens his hold upon their affections, and makes them press him more warmly and closely to their yearning bosoms. He has been Blundered and reviled as mortal man never was before, but his character has not suffered from the encounter; it still survives the shock. In all that is ennobling in patriotism, all that is precious in intellect, or enviable in public virtue and private honor, Henri CJlat towers as high above his enemies as does the highest peak of the Andes above the level of the sea. Ho has been cast into the fiery furnace of personal invective and abuse, but, like the holy youths spoken of in Scripture, he has come forth, unhurt by the flames, and unscorched and unscathed by the conflagration which burned and blazed around Inm. The vulgar and the reckless may continue to spend their malice upon him, and the demons of party, who have raved at and cursed him in tiie past, may rejoice over his ill-fortune in the future; but, thank Uod, they can neither subdue his proud spirit, nor drag him down to their otvu deep ubyss of misery and degradation. He has been borne down by the power of numbers, it is true, but ho fell inglorious warfare, sword in hand, and his armor on, at the head of Freedom's friends, the victim of Freedom's foes, and with him fell Ihe best hopes and tho dearest interests of his country. He is overpowered, but ho is still, as firm and unehaken as tho rock on whose head the storms have burst in all their madness, nd against whose sides the waves of the ocean, lashed into fury, have dashed and fretled in vain. The wiles and stratagems, and the frauds and deceptions of his opponents, have balked those who knew and estimated his worth in their efforts to reward him as they desired but still they cannot blot out from history the record of his greatness, nor prevent his name from going down to posterity, associated, for thirty years past, with all that is memorable in the legislation or glorious in the annals of his country. They ore powerless as to that; for his is one of the few names that was not born to die. They have deprived him of office ; but the Presidential office, high and worthy as it is of man's ambition, could not add a cubit to his stature nor increase the splendor of his fume. His greatness will still overshadow tho land, and his character as a statesman, bright as yet aa the unconquered eagle of his country, will be appreciated wherever liberty has a homo or civilization a resting place, and his virtuous deeds reverenced by unborn millions to come, when the 'Gilded flies Thai, basking in Ihe sunshine of a court, Fallen on ils corruption," are forgotten among the things that were. We here repeat our declaration that tho Whigs, as t party, fought nobly under their great leader; and at this moment they are prouder to have shared his defeat than tho Opposition feel amid all their joyous shouts at the success of his competitor, 13 lit, in paying an humble tribute to our gallant party, we cannot forego the satisfaction it gives us to speak of one for whose services all should be grateful we allude to the Hon. Willis Grfen, of Kentucky. He, we have reason to know, made tha heaviest sacrifices for the cause, and that, too, with no feeling: of self-interest or personal agrandizement influencing his conduct His labors were a free offering to his country, and all he did was for the love he bore the cause, and his deep devotion to Henri Clat. Those who only atood near him, and shared his confidence and his counsels, can fully appreciate the value and extent of his exertions. He left nothing undone which honorable warfare would justify ; nothing which seemed compatible with the high calling of truth ; nothing which was worthy of a just cause, or in tha least calculated to promote its triumph. And, calamitous as the result has proved, deep ss the distress of the Whig party is, and keen and bitter as the melancholy reflections of some may be, no one can reproach him with a want of firmness, or with indifference to or neglect of duty. All his time and all his thoughts were given to the great issue, and never, for a moment, did his energies flag, or his exertions tire. His anxiety was all the while deep and intense, and as the trial day approached, sleep scarce ly ever touched his eye-lids. Here, at the seat of Government, entrusted ss chairman of the Whig Congressional Executive Committee, with the supervision of, and to a certain extent, controlling the Whig action throughout the country, he watched the movements of the Whig forces, and bade them on to battle ; and when others fell back and fainted by the way-side, he stood up more firm and faithful to the work, thinking of nothing, hoping for nothing, and caring for nothing but the success of He.irt Cut and the country. Under his direction, and that of the Hon. Gahrit Davis, the partner of his toil and sahrer of his feelings, thousands of public documents and political tracts, vindicating the principles and measures of the Whig party, were scattered broadcast over the Union. They were not, however, intended lo reach the prejudices or to pander to the low and grovelling instincts of human nature ; they were addressed to the calm reflection and sober judgment of the people ; they were manly, straight forward appeals to (lie popular intelligence, and there is no doubt that for the most part they served their purpose ; for it cannot be denied that, aside from the foreign influence brought to bear on the elections within the last three months, a decided 28, 1844. majority of the country is Whig in principle, in feeling and action. In view, then, of these facts, and with a full knowledge of his self-sacrificing spirit and disinterestedness, the Whigs of the Union owe a debt of gratitude to this well-tried soldier, which it becomes them always to remember. His voico was mingled with theirs in the heat and din of tho contest, and the same calamity that has befallen them wrung his generous heart and furrowed his cheeks with tears of bittcrnes and regret. And now, Whigs of the Union, your reverses, so far from causing you to give way in despair, should only point out to you tho necessity of renewed and redoubled action, uml at the nroner time, it should only strengthen your hearts and nerve your arms for another effort You must not givo up all hopes of redeeming the country. Four years from now it can bo done; and.then you must net -only wipe ourttie siffmtt-4ryotir recent defeat, but avenge the wrongs of Henry Clat. Remember that the overwhelming defeat of the Roman forces on the field of Canute followed soon alter by the expulsion of Hannibal, flushed with victory from the gates of the Imperial City. Aye, remember too, that Washingtok's retreat across the Delaware, with a few regiments of half-clad and half-starved soldiers, in one of the darkest hours in our Revolutionary struggle, was signalized soon after by the route of the enemy's forces at Trenton, in the midst of their revelry and rejoicings. Take hope from these facts ; and when the days of your mourning shall have passed, and the proper period for action shall have arrived, once more unfurl tho Whig standard, and lay not aside your arms until the infidels are driven from the holy land. Till then rest in peace and bide your time. .Inaction of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Tho interesting letter of Henry Wheaton, Esq. our distinguished Minister at Berlin, upon the junction of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, published among the Nutionul Institute Papers, contains many interesting facts. M. Napoleon Gueriea has explored the Isthmus of Panama route; the summit level between the two seas presents an elevation of 125 metres, the length of the proposed canal will be from 75 to SO kilnielres, and may be supplied with water, but the formation of harbors at each end, as the country is thinly peopled and labor high, will be attended with considerable expense. Comparing this, with the Nicaragua route, by the latter it would be about iSOO kilinctrcs, but at least three-fourths of the distance, is made already made by the hand of nature, the passage being through the Lakes Nicaragua and Leon, the descent from Lake Leon to tho Pacific would require a great number of locks, the difference between these two canals being 48 metres, whilst good harbors could bo niado at both ends, and the country between is populous. The routo of the 'Isthmus Tchuantepec,' is attractive from its historical associations. The mouth of the Rio Huasacualco, which would form one of tho termini of the proposed canal, is delineated on a rude map furnished by the Emperor Montezuma to Cortes, who shared equally with Columbus the great "conquistador" the desiro of finding a passage which would shorten by two-thirds the passage to tha 'land of spices,' then recently discovered by Vnsco do Gama. The above river did furnish to Cortes the means of transporting the materials of shipbuilding, and the munitions of war, from Vera Cruz in the direction of California. The accidental discovery in 1771 of some pieces of cannon in the castle of San Juan d'Ulloa cast at Manilla, led to the conjecture that they must have found their way thither by the Isthmus of Tchuantepec. This fact induced the Viceroy of Mexico, Don Antonio Bucanclli, to order a survey of the Intimitis to discover if any natural communication existed between seas, and if not, whether it might be possible toconnnect the rivers Chimalapa and Huasacualco, by a canal. They found no natural communication, and lofty Cordilleras stretching from East to West, but to the South of the village of Sunta Mareda da Chimalpa, a transversal volley, through which a canal might be constructed. No action was had upon this report, and a still later survey presented the route as impracticable. A more recent and accurate survey, however, by Don Gaetano Moro, shows that the lagoons near Tchuantepec have a depth of water of five or six metres in the shallowest parts, and that iho Bocoa Barra by which these small lakes communicate with the sea can be rendered navigable; nor are the elevations between the rivers by ony means so considerable as before represented. The former surveys had made the summit level between the two seas of Tarifa 373 metres; but this enormous elevation has been reduced to 200 metres. There are three sources for feeding the canal; the whole distance between the two oceans is 220 kilometres; but this is reduced by the Isguncs and the liver Huasacualco, while that part of the canal in the transversal valley would not be more than 60 kilometres, aiid the country, though thinly peopled, is healthy. This route is longer than that by Panama, but shorter than that by Nicaragua. It is, then, physically possible to construct tlie proposed canal, and Mr. Wheaton inclines to the opinion that the 'Tchuantepec' route is the best. The difficulties lie in the unsettled condition of the South American Republics, in the jealousy of the two great maritime nations, and the insecurity of investing capital at a reinoto point, in vast and expensive works. France has led the way m liberal surveys; and it might be possible to form a combination, by which permanent regulations should be established among commercial nations in general with respect to the use of such a work, so universally important Mr. Wheaton considers the principles laid down by the Congress of Vienna, in respect to the navigation of the great European rivers, would be salutary in the case of the proposed canal. The possibility of this grand work may be deemed established; the next thing is, who shall carry that into effect -wV. Y. Tribunu The Connecticut Historical Society has recently came into possession of the identical deal chest, formerly owned by Elder Brewster, the celebrated companion of the Rev. Dr. Robinson and the rest of the Pilgrims who landed at Plymouth in 1020. The chest was brought over in the May Flower, and if identified not only by its original marks, but by other satisfactory testimony. It has always remained in possession of the lineal descendents of the Elder. It passed from him into the hands of his son William Brewster, thence into the possession of his great grand daughter, Ruth Brewster, who married Mr. William Sampson, and removed to West Springfield in Massachusetts, where she died, a few years since, at a great age, in the family of Henry Day, from whom Dr. Robbins procured it It is made of Norway Pine, and was probably procured in Holland. .V.

How lo rniae good Apples. No branch of rural industry is more neglected than the cultivation of good fruit, and none will pay the fanner a higher profit for the labor bestowed. We shall rejoice if the following remarks from Mr. R. L. Pell of Ulster county, N. Y., who receutly received a gold medal- from the American Institute, for the best Fruit Farm, shall aid any of our country frieds to improve their orchards: To Me Committee on Vutf Farmt: Gentlemen : Being desirous to compete for the premium to be awarded by the Americnn Institute at its Sixteenth Annual Fair, for the best Fruit Farm in the State, I now abide its rules, and offer, at the request of Mr. T. B. Wn its worthy and very useful Secretary, my mode of managing. For some years I have been experimenting upon the apple tree, having an orchard of 20,000 Newton pippin apple trees; I have found it very unprofitable to wait for what is termed the bearing year, and consequently it has been my study to assist nature, so as to enable the trees to bear every year. I have noticed that it bears more profusely than any other tree, and consequently requires the intermediate year to recover itself, by extracting from the atmosphero and earth the requisite qualities to enable it to produce. If, however, it is supplied with the proper sustenance, it will bear every year. Three years ago, in April, I scraped all the rough bark off a few of the apple trees in my orchard, and washed the trunks and limbs within reach with soft soap, trimmed out all the branches that crossed each other, early in June, and painted the wounded part with white lead, to keep out the moisture, then split open the bark, by running a sharp pointed knife from the ground to the first set of limbs, in the latter part of the same month, which prevents the tree from becoming bark bound, and gives the inner wood an opportunity of expanding. In July, I placed one peck of oyster shell lime around each tree, and left it piled about the trunk until November, when I dug the lime in thoroughly. The following year I collected from those trees 1,700 barrels of fruit, some of which was sold in New York for $4, and the balance in London, at $9 per barrel. Strange as it may appear, they are literally bending to the ground with the finest fruit I ever saw, a specimen of which is now before you. The other trees in my orchard, not treated as above, are barren, next year being; their bearing year. ROBERT 1 PELL. Advice lo Whigs and I.ocoe. The editor of the Massachusetts Ploughman, an able neutral paper, gives tho following advice to both parlies; Mr. Polk is elected, and some may say, there is the end of it We think the end is not yet The party elected will have a very small majority of the whole people, and it must be very prudent or it may lose its power. Our own advice to our Democratic friends is, use your power as not abusing it, otherwise a day of reckoning- will come. You will be watched by a powerful parly, and it will be your interest to adopt mild counsels. To our Whig friends we say never despair, you are now in a minority, so far ss political power is concerned; but a minority is essential to the interests of the whole, and you should not consider your labors at an end. You have old mother Massachusetts as strong in nerve- and faith as ever. You have Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Vermont by her side. You have brought New York to a very close vote. You have brought Pennsylvania nearer to you, on the whole, than she has ever been brought before. You have revolutionized New Jersey in your favor. O-hio gives 7,000 majority on your electoral ticket Maryland holds out her hand. Tennessee remains in your faith. Kentucky comes up to vour mark, and Louisiana has not yet deserted. If yon take prudent counsel you will have New York and Pennsylvania on your side; but if you adopt wild counsels you will be deserted by three fourth of the Slates. Never strike your flag while you have so many sound ships in your fleet Yon are wanted to watch the motions of our opponents. Do your duty now on the larboard tack. A Double Brick IIocss Moved.

From Ihe National Iulelligenccr. Honor to whom lloaor is Due. Now that the Presidential contest is over, anil the great battle lias ended disastrously for the friends of Constitutional Right ; and now that the sun of our country's glory has set in gloom and darkneso, it is not less our pleasure titan our duty to bear testimony in behalf of tbose who were true to the faith that was in them. It is not enough to say that the Whig party fought hard and fought nobly in the cause of principle and truth they diu more than this. They gave up every thing to their country, and did all that men could do to rescue her from the dangers that beset her ; and which, most unfortunately for her peace and prosperily, and the happi-ness of the people, have at length overwhelmed her. They atrained evocy. nerve, and stretched every tendon, in the fight j they toiled by day, and watched by the camp lires at night ; and oil was freely done for the honor and glory of the Republic, and for the love of him who has proved himself the truest of her sons, and who stands up, even in' defeat, ''the noblest Roman of us all." Ho, their great leader, is beaten, but he is not on that account less dear to his friends they stood by him in his prosperity, and they cling to him in his adversity. His defeat under any circumstances, and now especially, when it lias been effected by the foulest frauds upon the elective franchise, and by votes manufactured for the time and the purpose, only tightens his hold upon their affections, and makes them press him more warmly and closely to their yearning bosoms. He has been Blundered and reviled as mortal man never was before, but his character has not suffered from the encounter; it still survives the shock. In all that is ennobling in patriotism, all that is precious in intellect, or enviable in public virtue and private honor, Henri CJlat towers as high above his enemies as does the highest peak of the Andes above the level of the sea. Ho has been cast into the fiery furnace of personal invective and abuse, but, like the holy youths spoken of in Scripture, he has come forth, unhurt by the flames, and unscorched and unscathed by the conflagration which burned and blazed around Inm. The vulgar and the reckless may continue to spend their malice upon him, and the demons of party, who have raved at and cursed him in tiie past, may rejoice over his ill-fortune in the future; but, thank Uod, they can neither subdue his proud spirit, nor drag him down to their otvu deep ubyss of misery and degradation. He has been borne down by the power of numbers, it is true, but ho fell inglorious warfare, sword in hand, and his armor on, at the head of Freedom's friends, the victim of Freedom's foes, and with him fell Ihe best hopes and tho dearest interests of his country. He is overpowered, but ho is still, as firm and unehaken as tho rock on whose head the storms have burst in all their madness, nd against whose sides the waves of the ocean, lashed into fury, have dashed and fretled in vain. The wiles and stratagems, and the frauds and deceptions of his opponents, have balked those who knew and estimated his worth in their efforts to reward him as they desired but still they cannot blot out from history the record of his greatness, nor prevent his name from going down to posterity, associated, for thirty years past, with all that is memorable in the legislation or glorious in the annals of his country. They ore powerless as to that; for his is one of the few names that was not born to die. They have deprived him of office ; but the Presidential office, high and worthy as it is of man's ambition, could not add a cubit to his stature nor increase the splendor of his fume. His greatness will still overshadow tho land, and his character as a statesman, bright as yet aa the unconquered eagle of his country, will be appreciated wherever liberty has a homo or civilization a resting place, and his virtuous deeds reverenced by unborn millions to come, when the 'Gilded flies Thai, basking in Ihe sunshine of a court, Fallen on ils corruption," are forgotten among the things that were. We here repeat our declaration that tho Whigs, as t party, fought nobly under their great leader; and at this moment they are prouder to have shared his defeat than tho Opposition feel amid all their joyous shouts at the success of his competitor, 13 lit, in paying an humble tribute to our gallant party, we cannot forego the satisfaction it gives us to speak of one for whose services all should be grateful we allude to the Hon. Willis Grfen, of Kentucky. He, we have reason to know, made tha heaviest sacrifices for the cause, and that, too, with no feeling: of self-interest or personal agrandizement influencing his conduct His labors were a free offering to his country, and all he did was for the love he bore the cause, and his deep devotion to Henri Clat. Those who only atood near him, and shared his confidence and his counsels, can fully appreciate the value and extent of his exertions. He left nothing undone which honorable warfare would justify ; nothing which seemed compatible with the high calling of truth ; nothing which was worthy of a just cause, or in tha least calculated to promote its triumph. And, calamitous as the result has proved, deep ss the distress of the Whig party is, and keen and bitter as the melancholy reflections of some may be, no one can reproach him with a want of firmness, or with indifference to or neglect of duty. All his time and all his thoughts were given to the great issue, and never, for a moment, did his energies flag, or his exertions tire. His anxiety was all the while deep and intense, and as the trial day approached, sleep scarce ly ever touched his eye-lids. Here, at the seat of Government, entrusted ss chairman of the Whig Congressional Executive Committee, with the supervision of, and to a certain extent, controlling the Whig action throughout the country, he watched the movements of the Whig forces, and bade them on to battle ; and when others fell back and fainted by the way-side, he stood up more firm and faithful to the work, thinking of nothing, hoping for nothing, and caring for nothing but the success of He.irt Cut and the country. Under his direction, and that of the Hon. Gahrit Davis, the partner of his toil and sahrer of his feelings, thousands of public documents and political tracts, vindicating the principles and measures of the Whig party, were scattered broadcast over the Union. They were not, however, intended lo reach the prejudices or to pander to the low and grovelling instincts of human nature ; they were addressed to the calm reflection and sober judgment of the people ; they were manly, straight forward appeals to (lie popular intelligence, and there is no doubt that for the most part they served their purpose ; for it cannot be denied that, aside from the foreign influence brought to bear on the elections within the last three months, a decided 28, 1844. majority of the country is Whig in principle, in feeling and action. In view, then, of these facts, and with a full knowledge of his self-sacrificing spirit and disinterestedness, the Whigs of the Union owe a debt of gratitude to this well-tried soldier, which it becomes them always to remember. His voico was mingled with theirs in the heat and din of tho contest, and the same calamity that has befallen them wrung his generous heart and furrowed his cheeks with tears of bittcrnes and regret. And now, Whigs of the Union, your reverses, so far from causing you to give way in despair, should only point out to you tho necessity of renewed and redoubled action, uml at the nroner time, it should only strengthen your hearts and nerve your arms for another effort You must not givo up all hopes of redeeming the country. Four years from now it can bo done; and.then you must net -only wipe ourttie siffmtt-4ryotir recent defeat, but avenge the wrongs of Henry Clat. Remember that the overwhelming defeat of the Roman forces on the field of Canute followed soon alter by the expulsion of Hannibal, flushed with victory from the gates of the Imperial City. Aye, remember too, that Washingtok's retreat across the Delaware, with a few regiments of half-clad and half-starved soldiers, in one of the darkest hours in our Revolutionary struggle, was signalized soon after by the route of the enemy's forces at Trenton, in the midst of their revelry and rejoicings. Take hope from these facts ; and when the days of your mourning shall have passed, and the proper period for action shall have arrived, once more unfurl tho Whig standard, and lay not aside your arms until the infidels are driven from the holy land. Till then rest in peace and bide your time. .Inaction of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Tho interesting letter of Henry Wheaton, Esq. our distinguished Minister at Berlin, upon the junction of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, published among the Nutionul Institute Papers, contains many interesting facts. M. Napoleon Gueriea has explored the Isthmus of Panama route; the summit level between the two seas presents an elevation of 125 metres, the length of the proposed canal will be from 75 to SO kilnielres, and may be supplied with water, but the formation of harbors at each end, as the country is thinly peopled and labor high, will be attended with considerable expense. Comparing this, with the Nicaragua route, by the latter it would be about iSOO kilinctrcs, but at least three-fourths of the distance, is made already made by the hand of nature, the passage being through the Lakes Nicaragua and Leon, the descent from Lake Leon to tho Pacific would require a great number of locks, the difference between these two canals being 48 metres, whilst good harbors could bo niado at both ends, and the country between is populous. The routo of the 'Isthmus Tchuantepec,' is attractive from its historical associations. The mouth of the Rio Huasacualco, which would form one of tho termini of the proposed canal, is delineated on a rude map furnished by the Emperor Montezuma to Cortes, who shared equally with Columbus the great "conquistador" the desiro of finding a passage which would shorten by two-thirds the passage to tha 'land of spices,' then recently discovered by Vnsco do Gama. The above river did furnish to Cortes the means of transporting the materials of shipbuilding, and the munitions of war, from Vera Cruz in the direction of California. The accidental discovery in 1771 of some pieces of cannon in the castle of San Juan d'Ulloa cast at Manilla, led to the conjecture that they must have found their way thither by the Isthmus of Tchuantepec. This fact induced the Viceroy of Mexico, Don Antonio Bucanclli, to order a survey of the Intimitis to discover if any natural communication existed between seas, and if not, whether it might be possible toconnnect the rivers Chimalapa and Huasacualco, by a canal. They found no natural communication, and lofty Cordilleras stretching from East to West, but to the South of the village of Sunta Mareda da Chimalpa, a transversal volley, through which a canal might be constructed. No action was had upon this report, and a still later survey presented the route as impracticable. A more recent and accurate survey, however, by Don Gaetano Moro, shows that the lagoons near Tchuantepec have a depth of water of five or six metres in the shallowest parts, and that iho Bocoa Barra by which these small lakes communicate with the sea can be rendered navigable; nor are the elevations between the rivers by ony means so considerable as before represented. The former surveys had made the summit level between the two seas of Tarifa 373 metres; but this enormous elevation has been reduced to 200 metres. There are three sources for feeding the canal; the whole distance between the two oceans is 220 kilometres; but this is reduced by the Isguncs and the liver Huasacualco, while that part of the canal in the transversal valley would not be more than 60 kilometres, aiid the country, though thinly peopled, is healthy. This route is longer than that by Panama, but shorter than that by Nicaragua. It is, then, physically possible to construct tlie proposed canal, and Mr. Wheaton inclines to the opinion that the 'Tchuantepec' route is the best. The difficulties lie in the unsettled condition of the South American Republics, in the jealousy of the two great maritime nations, and the insecurity of investing capital at a reinoto point, in vast and expensive works. France has led the way m liberal surveys; and it might be possible to form a combination, by which permanent regulations should be established among commercial nations in general with respect to the use of such a work, so universally important Mr. Wheaton considers the principles laid down by the Congress of Vienna, in respect to the navigation of the great European rivers, would be salutary in the case of the proposed canal. The possibility of this grand work may be deemed established; the next thing is, who shall carry that into effect -wV. Y. Tribunu The Connecticut Historical Society has recently came into possession of the identical deal chest, formerly owned by Elder Brewster, the celebrated companion of the Rev. Dr. Robinson and the rest of the Pilgrims who landed at Plymouth in 1020. The chest was brought over in the May Flower, and if identified not only by its original marks, but by other satisfactory testimony. It has always remained in possession of the lineal descendents of the Elder. It passed from him into the hands of his son William Brewster, thence into the possession of his great grand daughter, Ruth Brewster, who married Mr. William Sampson, and removed to West Springfield in Massachusetts, where she died, a few years since, at a great age, in the family of Henry Day, from whom Dr. Robbins procured it It is made of Norway Pine, and was probably procured in Holland. .V.

How lo rniae good Apples. No branch of rural industry is more neglected than the cultivation of good fruit, and none will pay the fanner a higher profit for the labor bestowed. We shall rejoice if the following remarks from Mr. R. L. Pell of Ulster county, N. Y., who receutly received a gold medal- from the American Institute, for the best Fruit Farm, shall aid any of our country frieds to improve their orchards: To Me Committee on Vutf Farmt: Gentlemen : Being desirous to compete for the premium to be awarded by the Americnn Institute at its Sixteenth Annual Fair, for the best Fruit Farm in the State, I now abide its rules, and offer, at the request of Mr. T. B. Wn its worthy and very useful Secretary, my mode of managing. For some years I have been experimenting upon the apple tree, having an orchard of 20,000 Newton pippin apple trees; I have found it very unprofitable to wait for what is termed the bearing year, and consequently it has been my study to assist nature, so as to enable the trees to bear every year. I have noticed that it bears more profusely than any other tree, and consequently requires the intermediate year to recover itself, by extracting from the atmosphero and earth the requisite qualities to enable it to produce. If, however, it is supplied with the proper sustenance, it will bear every year. Three years ago, in April, I scraped all the rough bark off a few of the apple trees in my orchard, and washed the trunks and limbs within reach with soft soap, trimmed out all the branches that crossed each other, early in June, and painted the wounded part with white lead, to keep out the moisture, then split open the bark, by running a sharp pointed knife from the ground to the first set of limbs, in the latter part of the same month, which prevents the tree from becoming bark bound, and gives the inner wood an opportunity of expanding. In July, I placed one peck of oyster shell lime around each tree, and left it piled about the trunk until November, when I dug the lime in thoroughly. The following year I collected from those trees 1,700 barrels of fruit, some of which was sold in New York for $4, and the balance in London, at $9 per barrel. Strange as it may appear, they are literally bending to the ground with the finest fruit I ever saw, a specimen of which is now before you. The other trees in my orchard, not treated as above, are barren, next year being; their bearing year. ROBERT 1 PELL. Advice lo Whigs and I.ocoe. The editor of the Massachusetts Ploughman, an able neutral paper, gives tho following advice to both parlies; Mr. Polk is elected, and some may say, there is the end of it We think the end is not yet The party elected will have a very small majority of the whole people, and it must be very prudent or it may lose its power. Our own advice to our Democratic friends is, use your power as not abusing it, otherwise a day of reckoning- will come. You will be watched by a powerful parly, and it will be your interest to adopt mild counsels. To our Whig friends we say never despair, you are now in a minority, so far ss political power is concerned; but a minority is essential to the interests of the whole, and you should not consider your labors at an end. You have old mother Massachusetts as strong in nerve- and faith as ever. You have Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Vermont by her side. You have brought New York to a very close vote. You have brought Pennsylvania nearer to you, on the whole, than she has ever been brought before. You have revolutionized New Jersey in your favor. O-hio gives 7,000 majority on your electoral ticket Maryland holds out her hand. Tennessee remains in your faith. Kentucky comes up to vour mark, and Louisiana has not yet deserted. If yon take prudent counsel you will have New York and Pennsylvania on your side; but if you adopt wild counsels you will be deserted by three fourth of the Slates. Never strike your flag while you have so many sound ships in your fleet Yon are wanted to watch the motions of our opponents. Do your duty now on the larboard tack. A Double Brick IIocss Moved.
